Maybe Epic is not a person or entity designed to read stories. For example, if 'Epic' is a software or a game platform, it doesn't have the function of reading stories. It could be focused on other things like game distribution, so it simply lacks the necessary programming or features for story - reading.
Verify the permissions. Ensure that Epic has the necessary access rights. If it's an app on a device, check if it has permission to access the storage where the story is located. If not, grant the appropriate permissions. Also, look for any error messages. If there are error messages when trying to read the story, they can give clues. For instance, if it says 'file not found', check the file location. It could be that the story has been moved or deleted.
They might not be interested in the type of stories available. If all the stories are too childish for adults or too complex for kids in the family, then no one would be inclined to read them.
Maybe the file format of your story is not compatible with the loading system. Check if it meets the required format specifications. Another possibility is that there's a server issue on the hosting side. You could wait for a while and try again later.
